Nina Totenberg is a well-respected journalist
who has covered the
Supreme Court since John Jay was chief justice.
She broke a story this
morning that Alito had resigned. But then, Alito never resigned.
NPR retracted the story.
But this Web site https://www.alternet.org/alito-resigning/ points out
if there had been an embargoed news story, which is typical in
Washington, it would have been given to her.
It is also said that Speaker Johnson had a floor speech prepared.
Alito's concern may be if the Democrats do pick up Senate seats, it will
be even more difficult getting a conservative successor confirmed, so
better to resign while the successor can be confirmed by the current Congress.
In the meantime, Thomas, like Ginsburg, believes he's immortal.
